Middlesex To Consider Area Trash Authority

March 06, 1989

SALUDA — The Middlesex Board of Supervisors will again discuss a proposed regional trash authority at its monthly meeting at 9 a.m. Tuesday in the Woodward Building.

The board tabled the issue at its last meeting until it could see how other counties in the region acted on the matter. The supervisors wanted more information on two legal issues: whether the county could withdraw from the authority without penalty and whether it could join another authority once it withdrew.

Two public hearings will also be held at the meeting. One concerns revisions to the zoning ordinance. No districts or setbacks have been changed, but definitions have been added, said Betty Callis, secretary in the administrator's office.

The second hearing will discuss leasing of unused county land at the airport for agricultural purposes.

Also on the agenda are two resolutions presented by the Chamber of Commerce for endorsement by the Board of Supervisors. One would encourage all county businesses to fly the U.S. flag and the other would ask the state to pay for cleanup after the Urbanna Oyster Festival.
